Mikko loves to party. He was not impressed when we said that Sam had no plans for his birthday this year and insisted we throw him a party. Here's one of the banners he made.

We went to a party supply store and spent at least three dollars on decorations and goofy party favors for all the attendees. (That would be just the four of us, and Alrik didn't really count.)

Mikko helped make Sam birthday brownies.

Properly behatted.

It's almost as if the gifts were more for Mikko than for Sam. Strange.

A good time was had by all.

Here's to another year, Sam.

And that fabric you have hanging in the first picture from IKEA-- we have that in our living room, glued into our wall panels! If you want to see it, this post shows it at many angles! Fun! http://mommyingmyway.blogspot.com/2011/11/manic-mondays-new-series.html

That is very sweet :) Kieran has been talking about his plans for his own birthday: "I will have cake for breakfast, cake for lunch, cake for dinner, and cake for dessert."When Tom's birthday rolled around last month, Kieran was all, "let's make papa cake for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert!!" (I mean, not because he would have benefited or anything. Ahem.)
